THAT TERRIBLE WARNING.

The narrow escape from a terrible disaster
on the Sixth avenue IL" yesterday will
impress several facts very wildly on the
public mind.
The Manhattan management is taking
TOO many chances" Poor wages, long hours,
insufficient force, resultant carelessness, the
multiplication Of switches and the ever
increasing crowds mean increasing danger.
The peril yesterday resulted from q direct
attempt to evade the law by q hasty con-
struction of q switch. Are the authorities,
whose business it is to prevent such viola
tions, asleep and as careless as the corpora
ton itself2
The narrowly averted disaster, moreover,
c~onclusively shows that safety as we'll as
convenience demands the immediate con-
struction Of a more adequate and substantial
transportation system.

HAdGERTY. West Twenty-third
street, said that the end was peaceful and
that Major Haggerty was conscious up to a
few minutes before he breathed his last.
AS soon as it was known that the Major had
died a number of friends called at the house
and offered coincidence to the family.
Had Major Haggerty lived, to-day would
have been the fifty sixth anniversary Of his
birth, as he was born Dec. 81, 1881.
For nearly two months he had been q great
sufferer from an abscess in his throat, fol
lowed by.a large %glandular swelling on the
side of his neck. Pneumonia, which set in
several days ago, helped to hasten his death.
Major Hagerty's wife and son and DIR. Gil
bert, who have 80 faithfully cared for him
during his illness, watched at his bedside
through the night.
The funeral arrangements, which have not
yet been decided upon, will be completed
some time to-day.

common schools of Glasgow. He came to
this country when quite q young man. and
afterwards studied law and was admitted to
the bar.
He was n Republican until 1879, when he
Joined the Liberal movement and took the
stump for Greeley in that campaign, resign
ing his position as Deputy Naval Officer of
the Port of New York, which he had held for
two years, in order to carry out his plan.
Since then he has been actively identified
with the Democratic party, and has stumped
this and other States under the assignment of
the National and State Committees In 1863
MIR. Haggerty was appointed by the President
to be United States Consul to Glasgow, his
native city, but on arriving there his exequa-
tor was refused by the British Government,
on the alleged ground of his connection with
movements in this country sympathizing with
the Irish movement in Ireland.
In 1862 Mr.. Haggerty entered the army as
Adjutant of the One Hundred and Eleventh
New York Volunteers, but his health failing
he was compelled to resign the following
year. Major Haggerty was a member of the
Assembly in 1sS2-sS-s4.S5 In 1882 he
served as Chairman of the Committee of
Grievances and member of Railroads, Militia.
Federal Relations and Special Committee to
Investigate Insurance Receiverships; in 1883

elected in 1886 by II votes over Henry Stein

Major Haggerty was q man of much intel
lectual force and learning and an impassioned
and eloquent orator.

The combined wealth Of this remarkable family
(he Astors) probably stands without parallel in the
world. 1t has been the steady endeayor Of the
living members OF the family to underestimate
their possessions in order that they might not
arouse the too bitter Jealousy OF that class Of the
population which looks inlmically at boarded
wealth. For this reason John Jacob Astor has
never given any authority for statements Of his
wealth that put the figures beyond el00, 900, 900
aud ordinarily this sum Ii looked upon as the limit
OF his possessions; nevertheless II Is a conservative
real estate, as the income In the shape OF rents
brings about an accumulation OF actual cash much
greater than they can conveniently dispose OF.
But taking 800, 900, 900 as a basis and adding TO
II the fortune OF his brother william, which Ia
more than half as great, and the fortunes possessed
family, there would be a total that could not fall
short OF $3.50, 00O, 900.

VERY LIKE SWEET SORROW.
A Drawn Game Between Two Victims of
Miss Minnie Pnimer's WiIes.


No one is so friendly and charming to
newspaper men Us pretty little Miss Minnie
Palmer. She receives them with the
utmost cordially, and invariably makes
them believe that she is greatly impressed by
their destinations.
Just before she left New York after her en-
gagement at the Fourteenth Street Theatre
two newspaper men were particularly anx-
ious to pay Miss Palmer homage, and called
daily at her hotel to inquire after her health.
Ihe day she departed was a gloomy one for
them. They had each begun to despise the
other, as it was absolutely impossible to tell
from Miss Palmer's manner which she pre-
ferred-though uncharitable people say that
they merely amused her.
The Monday night following her departure
they met at the Fifth Avenue Theatre.

He drew from his pocket q large portrait of
Miss Palmer sitting in a swing, and glanced
with whitening scorn at his companion.
"I've seen it." said the first, but his voice
was sad, as he drew a fac simile from his own
pocket. But still he could go his friend one

" Parting is such sweet SORROW"
